This Wet/dry Vacuum was easy to use, quick cleanup of our basement where it flooded in a small area, easy to drain.

The big 2&1/2″ hose is awkward to handle and a longer cord would be helpful.

It was to big for what i want it but it did a great job. For big areas there is not a better friend but does not suit tje the small areas between the car seats
